communication breakdown

“For me one of the strange takeaways of thinking so much about artificial intelligence is this feeling of how complex it is to sit across a table from someone and communicate with body language and tone and rhythm and all of these things. What happens when those conversations are working out well is that we’re willing to move the conversation in ways that allow us to be sort of perpetually startling to one another. You learn someone through these small surprises.” – Brian Christian, on Radiolab episode “Talking to Machines“
